Also, the terms used in the civil administration under islami rule, continue today in popular or even in official parlance till date to an extent.
subA and subedAr (province)
zila and ziledAr (district)
mansub and mansub-dAr (sub-division)
paraganA
tehsIl and tehsIldAr
talluka and tallukedAr
another term "nAyab" for deputy, is popular and official.
in police:
kotwAl
dArogA
jamadAr
some other post names with unknown source:
harkAr - janitor
chaparAsI - peon
LekhpAl - land-record-keeper - certainly Hindu origin
"janaab" in chanakya - missed it. my guess is it might be some other similar sounding term.
